Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” Chapter 501: An Initial Exploration of Independent Spacetime

Within the endless Chaos.

Immense quantities of Chaotic Energy surged forward in unpredictable streams.

A party of forty-one individuals hurtled swiftly across the Chaos.

As Su Yuan came to a halt, the others started examining the area around them, hunting for any unusual signs in the vicinity.

Regrettably, even as Dao Venerables, they scanned extensively yet failed to spot even the tiniest irregularity.

Su Yuan indicated toward a stone roughly the size of a human figure, floating within the Chaotic Energy, and declared, "The entrance lies within this stone!"

The group clustered together, gazing at the stone with expressions brimming with surprise.

"An entrance to a separate space-time concealed in this stone?" The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable cried out in astonishment, "It's way too plain."

Su Yuan grinned. He had simply picked this stone at random to create the entrance, making it utterly commonplace, of course.

"Follow me!"

Su Yuan morphed into a streak of light, plunging straight into the stone's core.

The remaining Dao Venerables likewise shifted into beams of light and shadows, slipping inside the stone.

Upon arriving at the stone's heart, it was like crossing a barrier of time and space.

When they emerged again, they found themselves in a fresh world.

Myriad brilliant starlights streaked across the sky and earth; it appeared they had entered a sea of radiance. Far off, stars shone with diverse hues, and enormous heavenly bodies pulsed with waves of particular Dao Principles.

Dao Venerable Niro exclaimed delightedly, "This separate space-time turns out to be the resource variety!"

Separate space-times fall into various categories: forbidden land, perilous land, blessed land, resource, and void types. Of these, the resource type ranks among the finest.

"Furthermore, it qualifies as a blessed land type, aiding cultivation!" Dao Venerable Ji Ning gestured toward the odd celestial bodies in the distance that radiated pulses of specific Dao Principles.

"We've hit the jackpot, hit the jackpot! The Miluo Dao Court is set to thrive!" The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable chuckled loudly too.

Yet Su Li, observing this location, experienced a familiar sensation.

Sharing looks with Su Qian and Su Yuan (Abyss), they all displayed comprehension and wisely held their tongues.

Su Yuan spoke to the assembly, "I'm not well-versed in the conditions here, but I did seize command of a Dao Principle via this realm, verifying it as a separate space-time. The exact resources, blessed lands, or potential hazards present demand thorough investigation ahead. We can't afford to be negligent!"

The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable guffawed, "Haha, Seven Stars Dao Sovereign, we get it. You deserve the bulk of the credit for unearthing this. Let us take over the rest!"

With a flick of his wrist, he called forth the Dao Court followers kept in his spatial artifact, totaling ten billion, every one a cultivator at the Wuji Realm or higher!

The other Dao Venerables similarly unleashed their followers, their forces numbering in the billions as well.

And Su Yuan summoned the followers from the Seven Stars Dao Palace.

Su Yuan stated, "I'll handle setting up the base, installing a spatial teleportation array, and linking it to the Dao Court without delay!"

"Excellent!" The Soul-Constraining Dao Venerable agreed readily.

In this way, Su Yuan along with his eleven Dao Venerable disciples stayed put at the spot.

The thirty Dao Venerables, under the guidance of the Soul-Constraining, Ji Ning, and Niro, divided into three primary groups to probe this separate space-time.

The mission kicked off at once.

Dozens of billions of cultivators spread out promptly, seizing and claiming lands in quick succession.

Employing a mighty technique, Su Yuan formed the illusion of a colossal city from nothing. It seemed highly ethereal, lacking any solidity.

Nevertheless, the illusion unleashed a pulling force, greedily absorbing the nearby starlight. The city's outlines slowly solidified.

This was Su Yuan's method—transforming the unreal into the tangible!

Su Yuan regarded the group and instructed, "The base must be built with materials from this separate space-time. All of you, fan out and gather resources from different spots, then deposit them into the city illusion. It will process the materials on its own and form properly. Su Li, Su Qian, Yin Xing... you each command a squad to erect this city!"

"Yes!"

The ten Dao Venerable disciples and followers obeyed, directing the Dao Palace members to scour the environs for materials to supply the city.

Su Yuan remained stationary, feeling the boosting influence of the [Tear of Eternity].

The forty Dao Venerables, combined with the hundreds of billions of cultivators, layered onto him, boosting his added strength to that of a Twelfth-Order Fusion Dao Venerable!

Together with his personal fighting prowess matching a Twelfth-Order Fusion Dao Venerable, he possessed the might to challenge a Thirteenth-Order Fusion Dao Venerable.

A mere notion from Su Yuan conjured a figure from nowhere in front of him.

It was a Heaven-Devouring Fish, Little Cai's actual body.

Little Cai blinked in surprise, then shifted to her humanoid form.

At present, Little Cai had grown into the guise of a stunning woman, looking incredibly charming and full of life.

"Master!"

Little Cai glanced about, noting the absence of others, and promptly clasped Su Yuan's arm, rubbing against it fondly.

Su Yuan tousled Little Cai's hair, grinning as he chided, "You're so grown up now, yet still this attached!"

"Mhm, mhm!" Little Cai merely hummed in response.

Su Yuan assessed Little Cai's progress in comprehension. She still had a significant way to go before fully grasping the Calamity Dao Principle.

Little Cai enjoyed frolicking, her commitment to cultivation paling compared to Su Li and the rest, which made Su Yuan sigh inwardly.

"Little Cai, I've got an assignment for you!" Su Yuan announced.

Little Cai thumped her chest assuredly, "Master, whatever it is, count on me—I'll take care of it all!"

Confidence shone on her features.

"Fine. This is the Nine Stars Land. I've adjusted the setup within a bit. Your job is to stir up chaos for entrants, unleash disasters on them, but ensure they don't get too cozy!" Su Yuan explained evenly.

Upon hearing that, Little Cai grew a tad anxious, "So, just how powerful are they?"

"Dao Venerables are among them, with the mightiest at Eleventh-Order! And that's only at the moment. Soon enough, I figure more Dao Venerables will arrive!" Su Yuan replied smilingly.

"Ah~!"

Little Cai poked out her tongue, "I'm merely at the Dao Yan Realm's peak—how could I battle such foes!"

"No need to fret, I'll share my power with you. Handling them will be a breeze!"

With a mental command from Su Yuan, the [Tear of Eternity]'s enhancement shifted to Little Cai.

Little Cai sensed her strength explode by billions of folds right away!

Her awareness stretched out millions of times farther; she beheld a far grander cosmos!

Endowed with this might, though not her own, she remained awestruck at wielding such tremendous energy!

Her mind struggled to fully direct this force, but even crude control allowed a simple strike to obliterate trillions of her previous incarnations!

"Now, do you feel assured?" Su Yuan inquired with a light laugh.

Little Cai returned to the present, striving to steady her power's surges, then responded with thrill, "Rest easy, Master! I know this sort of task well. I'll make sure they taste both bliss and torment!"
